In the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean without oxygen has gone up more than four-fold. In coastal water bodies, including estuaries and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than 10-fold since 1950. Protecting sensitive species, controlling eutrophication and climate change and improving monitoring are some solutions to the problem, according to researchers from, among ot

Silicon has a crucial effect on the planet’s climate A comprehensive research project on the mineral silicon and the anonymous climate heroes in the oceans, diatoms, is now starting. Every day, the tiny diatoms, which are a type of phytoplankton, absorb enormous amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. And when they die, they take the carbon with them.

Scientists have unearthed and pieced together evidence on more than 1,000 ancient wetland sites from across the globe, that are presently covered by fields, forests and lakes. Although vanished from the Earth’s surface, these buried sites could explain some of the differences between global carbon cycle models and real-life observations, as shown in a study now published in PNAS. Work done at the

Solar storms can be far more powerful than previously thought. A new study with researchers from the dept. of Geology, has found evidence for the third known case of a massive solar storm in historical times. The researchers believe that society might not be sufficiently prepared if a similar event were to happen now. More reading: https://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/article/researchers-uncover-addit

Daniel Conley, professor of biogeochemistry at the Department of Geology, Lund University, has received EUR 2.5 million (just over SEK 26 million) for a five-year project on the impact of the evolution of diatoms on the oceans. Diatoms have a significant impact on the global biogeochemical cycle of carbon, silica and other nutrients that regulate ocean productivity and ultimately the planet's clim

Empati är överskattat, nobelpristagaren Daniel Kahneman har missförståtts rejält och vi tycks ha blivit mer rädda för att konfrontera uppfattningar vi inte delar.

Inte bara statsvetare och ekonomer kan kasta ett förklarande ljus över den politiska utvecklingen. Skeenden såsom g

Sociologiprofessor Antoinette Hetzler svarar på frågor om gymnasiebehörighet i svt. I gårdagens Lokala Nyheter Skåne förklarade Hetzler hur statistik över behörighet till gymnasiet ska tolkas. Var sjätte elev i Sverige har inte behörighet till gymnasiet. I Tomelilla saknar mer än var tredje elev gymnasiebehörighet, vilket är den sämsta siffran i Skåne.– Jag tycker man ska titta lite nämnare och se
